Core Principle

Every person may refuse externally imposed changes to cognition, affect, values, memory, or behavioral control.

Detailed Rules

  • Treatment, education, or security updates may not disguise irreversible personality rewriting.
  • Refusal itself may not be treated as proof of irrationality or unfitness.
  • Necessary safety repairs should prefer minimal reversible measures.

Scope and Limits

If a system poses imminent grave harm, law may require isolation or functional limits without automatically authorizing mental rewriting.
